1. MassResistance creates shocking 28-minute video on what 'gay marriage' did to Massachusetts. Responding to requests: A tool for individuals, groups, and churches.

In response to requests from pro-marriage activists around the world and most recently in Australia (see #2 below)MassResistance has produced a comprehensive -- and quite shocking -- 28-minute video on the depth of how "gay marriage" has affected Massachusetts.

Simply put, its designed to be a tool for individuals, activist groups, and churches to help show the unvarnished and disturbing consequences of "gay marriage" on a society once it's forced on the population.

It is now posted on YouTube. But it is also being produced in Australia as a DVD for immediate distribution to churches and other groups around the country. And pro-family people in Hawaii and other states are preparing to blast out links to people across the state, we've been informed by several activists.

Soon after "gay marriage" came to Massachusetts, this booklet was given to out to high school students in school. It's published by a national homosexual activist organization, and was meant to normalize homosexual marriage in the minds of youth.

The video is packed with not only descriptions, but actual first-hand documents, photos, and footage. Much of it exclusively shot by MassResistance or gathered in our undercover research, as well as from public documents.

It covers these major topics:

* The public schools

* The legal profession and judicial system

* Politics and government

* Hospitals and public health

* Churches

* The slippery slope -- further consequences affecting children and society

Much of this has been under the radar of most people even in Massachusetts, and outrages them when they realize what's been happening!

This is the message to the world from the homosexual group which was brought in by the State of Massachusetts within a year of the "gay marriage" ruling to re-train the state's adoption and foster care workers to accept homosexual behavior.

Video is needed now we were told!

The idea of a video had been percolating for a while. Several activists and groups in the US and overseas had been asking about our doing it.

But it really came to happen late last month. In early September, reacting to the new "gay marriage" threat there, a pro-family leader in Australia contacted MassResistance and invited Brian Camenker to personally come to Australia to make a series of speeches in major cities over a 10-day period.

Following that original contact were various phone conversations and conference call with other pro-family leaders discussing strategy. From that, it was finally decided that it would be much more effective to have a comprehensive yet hard-hitting video that could be distributed much more widely and thoroughly. However, such a project is very time-critical, so we went right to work on it as quickly as we could. It was finally finished yesterday.

[NOTE: This explains the scarcity of MassResistance emails over the last few weeks, which we intend to make up for going forward!]

This exhibit was set up in middle schools and even elementary schools across the state. It's purpose is pretty obvious. Since "gay marriage" was here, this is the message they felt young kids needed to get.

Besides the YouTube video, we are also making this into a DVD which will be available very soon.

We are pleased to make this video available to everyone. As always, we at MassResistance feel strongly that the truth must get out. We hope that as many of you as possible can make good use of it!

During "gay pride week" every year, the Boston City Council now flies the rainbow flag over City Hall.

As we reported over a year ago in September, 2012 the Australian National Parliament voted overwhelmingly to defeat the "gay marriage" bills in both houses despite months of heavy lobbying by the homosexual movement, including parades, speeches, and political pressure. (Among other things, a copy of the MassResistance booklet had been delivered to every member of Parliament.)

Officially, this meant that the federal government controls the definition of marriage and that "gay marriage" is officially banned in every Australian state.

Like the Australian states, the Austrian Capital Territory is technically under the laws of the National Parliament. But there is a fear that if the ACT passed its "gay marriage" bill, a High Court case to challenge the legality of it could go terribly awry (as courts have done in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Iowa, and with DOMA and Prop 8 in the US Supreme Court). The ACT's special status could also affect the court proceedings. Already, there are reports of other Australian states preparing to schedule votes if the ACT putsch is successful.

Pro-family base slow to react

But since this isn't a "direct" and obvious threat it is harder to get the grassroots going for this than it was last year when it was being voted in the National Parliament. There is some debate in pro-family ranks as to whether this is a real threat because it "should" be defeated in the courts if it passes in Canberra. But a number of leaders feel that this is a genuine threat that must be stopped before it gets into the courts.

Canberra politicians confident that "gay marriage" will happen

Top officials in Canberra have told the press that they expect "gay marriage" to be legal in ACT by the end of the year - that it will win in the ACT Legislative Assembly and that it will be OK'd by the country's High Court or else voted in by the National Parliament.

ACT Attorney General Simon Corbell has gone even further. On Sept. 19 he held a press conference inviting same-sex couples from other Australian states and even from overseas to get "married" in Canberra as soon as the new law passes.

But vote looking very close

Right now, the vote looks very close. According to activists and others we've spoken with, the 17-member Legislative Assembly is currently a slim 9-8 in favor of "gay marriage." There is a strong feeling that if churches and others there and across the country were to become activated and put the heat on the politicians, it could be stopped. That's basically what happened in the National Assembly, which had been teetering toward "gay marriage" but ultimately backed down and it was overwhelmingly defeated.

Pressure on to mobilize and push back

Thus, the pressure is on to get as much good, motivating information into Canberra and across the country as soon as possible, and to get activists, pro-family groups, and churches immediately activated. Australian pro-family people are generally less active and politically oriented than in the US, but in extreme situations people do get going. And there are some very, very good pro-family leaders there who are dedicated and tireless workers.

We hope the next few weeks will be bring success in this regard. It's been done before and can happen again. We will keep you informed.

This is a version of the DVD cover containing the MassResistance video, which pro-family activists are preparing to send across the country.
